Hi PH community! 👋 I’m Safi, a solo builder and Portfolio Founder.
I built Mirowl because my own desktop was a graveyard of 'Screen Shot...' files. I wanted a way to manage these assets that felt native, stayed local-first, and didn't require a cloud subscription.
Why Mirowl?
🦉 Frictionless: It sits in your menu bar and works in the background.
🦀 Rust-Powered: Near-zero idle footprint and high-performance indexing.
🔍 10x Accuracy: We use native macOS Vision for deep text/code search.
🛡️ Privacy: 100% local. Your data never leaves your machine.
We just shipped v1.1.0 and I'm excited to get it into your hands. I'm here all day to answer questions and listen to your feedback. Let's kill the digital clutter together! 🚀
